I've read all the Posts.
Purchasing a a firearm for most of us is a very personal matter. Selling for many has become a business matter.
The original Poster is not someone I would like to do business with by the reading and intent of the original Post.
26" barrel is not a reason to return a firearm.
But and this is the BIG BUT, the 3-day inspection period is just that, a 3-day period to inspect and return the firearm. Why, because a description, even with numerous pictures is simply not good enough to disclose all. The 3-days is not an allowance to head to the range and shoot the gun until you are satisfied/dissatisfied although I know of individuals that have done that and dealers that have accepted returns based on that.
The gun should be returned at the purchasers expense and I at least would not have dealings with the purchaser. In terms of damages, I think a British Court would have allowed the purchaser 2 pennies in the past. -Dick

Gee, asking Big Eight to buy Spanish .410 SxS is pretty tall order. I mean Big Bore can buy .410 repeater (Winchester 42 or Jap redo comes to mind) and not have to worry about poi issues which seem to come up more often with fewer pellets to a swarm.

That's a tough one. Most sellers would have MI or CVA if buyer shot 5x/barrel at a plate 16yrds away. Hey, if the "shoe" don't fit or has a defect you are goin' to wear it anyway! Tough shit.

Disclosure is not the issue here. The buyer bought a gun clearly specified as 26" barrels. He wants to return it because it has 26" barrels. Go figure. The gun was also specified as an Uggie - should he be able to return it because he doesn't like Uggies? Doesn't the buyer have a responsibility to know what he wants?

Some here have cited the liberal return policies of L.L.Bean and other large-scale retailers. But big box retailers can make big bucks on repeat-repeat-repeat sales, so they can cut their customers some slack. Small scale dealers and one-time sellers on gun auctions can't afford such generosity. Nor should we expect it of them.

He should be able to return it, undamaged and unused, for any damn reason he wants. Otherwise it needs to be a 3 day inspection for dings in the wood, or a 3 day inspection for bluing, or a three day inspection for head space.

But what he got was a three day inspection, period, the purpose of which is to allow buyer to decide upon first hand inspection, whether he wants the gun...no matter if his reason is sound or trivial. If trivial, don't do business with him again (personally I agree with those who think the original poster's rant was ungentlemanly and coarse and that his reason should for return should have been obvious before shipping...but that does not change the issue).

I state again, I would not but a gun from a seller who offers an unmitigated three day inspection period and then objects to return on grounds not previously specified.

This ain't that hard and it doesn't matter how silly, trivial, or childish you think of the OP . Unused, undamaged in any way, buyer pays shipping/insur both ways...its a done deal...it should be able to go back for any reason.

Cheers

I can and do

But Mr.Legg is teaching this guy a lesson....

I hope this is a bitter pill for Jim Legg - bad press is bad press.
He should know, cash is king and Uggie's ain't!
